Pause/Resume/Stop Text to Speach

Questions about Thunkable Issues / Bugs
1

For at least 1,5 years now, i have been asking for the possability to Start/Stop/Pause/Resume text to speach functionality. Today it is only possible to start this operation. But user needs to leave screen/app to have the speaker voice to stop.

In Europe, new laws are implememnted 2025 to strengthen the accessibility to persons with functional variations. Unfortunately this has not been taken into consideration by Thunkable yet.

The requirement needed to be implemented are to Start/Stop/Pause/Resume text to speach.
If user have a text vsible on screen - User should be able to
Start - After click - Voice start reading the text
Stop - After click - Voice stop reading the text (Start over if clicked again)
Pause - After click - Voice pause reading the text (enable continue where you were)
Resume - After Click - Voice continue reading after pause

Please address this and let us know a release date.
Thank you

Stefan
